Now We Shall Be Entirely Free , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 784min
By the Costa Award-winning author of Pure, a stunning historical novel with the grip of a thriller, written in richly evocative, luminous prose. One rain-swept February night in 1809, an unconscious man is carried into a house in Somerset. He is Captain John Lacroix, home from Britain's disastrous campaign against Napoleon's forces in Spain. Gradually Lacroix recovers his health but not his peace of mind - he cannot talk about the war or face the memory of what happened in a village on the gruelling retreat to Corunna. After the command comes to return to his regiment, he sets out instead for the Hebrides, with the vague intent of reviving his musical interests and collecting local folk songs. Lacroix sails north incognito, unaware that he has far worse to fear than being dragged back to the army: a vicious English corporal and a Spanish officer are on his trail, with orders to kill. The haven he finds on a remote island with a family of freethinkers and the sister he falls for are not safe at all. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Jameson.

Why I Became an Atheist: A Former Preacher Rejects Christianity: Revised & Expanded , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1901min
For about two decades, John W. Loftus was a devout evangelical Christian, an ordained minister of the Church of Christ, and an ardent apologist for Christianity. With three degrees - in philosophy, theology, and philosophy of religion - he was adept at using rational argumentation to defend the faith. But over the years, doubts about the credibility of key Christian tenets began to creep into his thinking. By the late 1990s, he experienced a full-blown crisis of faith. In this honest appraisal of his journey from believer to atheist, the author carefully explains the experiences and the reasoning process that led him to reject religious belief. The original edition of this book was published in 2006 and reissued in 2008. Since that time, Loftus has received a good deal of critical feedback from Christians and skeptics alike. In this revised and expanded edition, the author addresses criticisms of the original, adds new argumentation and references, and refines his presentation. For every issue, he succinctly summarizes the various points of view and provides references for further analyzation. In conclusion, he describes the implications of life without belief in God - some liberating, some sobering. This frank critique of Christian belief from a former insider will interest freethinkers as well as anyone with doubts about the claims of religion. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Ladies of Liberty: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation, Hörbuch, Digital, 599min
In Founding Mothers, Cokie Roberts paid homage to the heroic women whose patriotism and sacrifice helped create a new nation. Now the number-one New York Times best-selling author and renowned political commentator - praised in USA Today as a "custodian of time-honored values" - continues the story of early America's influential women with Ladies of Liberty. In her "delightfully intimate and confiding" style ( Publishers Weekly), Roberts presents a colorful blend of biographical portraits and behind-the-scenes vignettes chronicling women's public roles and private responsibilities. Recounted with the insight and humor of an expert storyteller and drawing on personal correspondence, private journals, and other primary sources - many of them previously unpublished - Roberts brings to life the extraordinary accomplishments of women who laid the groundwork for a better society. Almost every quotation here is written by a woman, to a woman, or about a woman. From first ladies to freethinkers, educators to explorers, this exceptional group includes Abigail Adams, Margaret Bayard Smith, Martha Jefferson, Dolley Madison, Elizabeth Monroe, Louisa Catherine Adams, Eliza Hamilton, Theodosia Burr, Rebecca Gratz, Louisa Livingston, Rosalie Calvert, Sacajawea, and others. In a much-needed addition to the shelves of Founding Father literature, Roberts sheds new light on the generation of heroines, reformers, and visionaries who helped shape our nation, giving these ladies of liberty the recognition they so greatly deserve.

The Great Agnostic: Robert Ingersoll and American Freethought , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 300min
A biography that restores America's foremost 19th-century champion of reason and secularism to our still contested 21st-century public square. During the Gilded Age, which saw the dawn of America's enduring culture wars, Robert Green Ingersoll was known as "the Great Agnostic". The nation's most famous orator, he raised his voice on behalf of Enlightenment reason, secularism, and the separation of church and state with a vigor unmatched since America's revolutionary generation. When he died in 1899, even his religious enemies acknowledged that he might have aspired to the US presidency had he been willing to mask his opposition to religion. To the question that retains its controversial power today - was the United States founded as a Christian nation? - Ingersoll answered an emphatic no. In this provocative biography, Susan Jacoby, the author of Freethinkers: A History of American Secularism, restores Ingersoll to his rightful place in an American intellectual tradition extending from Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine to the current generation of "new atheists". Jacoby illuminates the ways in which America's often-denigrated and forgotten secular history encompasses issues, ranging from women's rights to evolution, as potent and divisive today as they were in Ingersoll's time. Ingersoll emerges in this portrait as one of the indispensable public figures who keep an alternative version of history alive. He devoted his life to that greatest secular idea of all - liberty of conscience belonging to the religious and nonreligious alike. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rich Miller.

About Faith: 13 Messages for the Freethinker , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 359min
Is is possible to change one's beliefs? And what is the difference between "belief" and "faith"? Faith can have an enormous influence on outlook, inner peace, and satisfaction with life. The fact is, everyone has faith in many things. You have faith that your car will start when you turn the key (or press the button). You might have faith that if you make enough green lights you will get to work on time. Faith can be as simple as trusting that when you fall asleep at night you will also wake up the next morning. But can a person choose to trust, choose to have faith? And can that trust be a real, solid, and heartfelt trust? Faith is a personal decision based on a logical and convincing demonstration of the effectiveness (trustworthiness) of the object of faith.This book consists of 13 messages reaching out primarily to freethinkers who may or may not believe in the existence of a “higher power”. Many may also doubt or deny the benefit of religion altogether. That’s okay. That’s where the author began some years ago. So how does one "get there" from here? How does a person come to a genuine faith in God? They have to be moved - motivated - to believe and then to trust in some aspect of God’s goodness. “We love Him because He first loved us” (1 John :4:19). God might reveal his power in a way that we know - we are absolutely convinced - God has intervened on our behalf. “It is the kindness of God that leads us to 'repentance' (turning to Him)" (Romans 2:4).These 13 messages are assembled so the listener can "get to know God" and the ministry of his son, Jesus Christ. They are meant to be educational, entertaining, and structured so that God might do his work of imparting his love and power - power to convict and power to restore. These messages were originally recorded and aired on international radio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: C. W. Steinle.
